Please do settle her down...I cannot imagine the terror,
humiliation and mental anguish she must be going through, but
another illegal action on her part won't undo the harm she has
suffered, and in fact would only increase her agony.

I have always been in favor of "open carry" for people to defend
themselves, as the police are obviously unable to protect us. I am
not in favor of persons carrying a weapon for the purpose of
looking for trouble, but everyone has a right to defend themselves
from assaults and criminals. A right unexercised is a right that
will be lost.
